Could you please state clearly ALL of the below:

- What goal you are trying to achieve.  
- How you are doing this.  
- What problems you encounter.  
- Which command did you run, and what actual output did you get from  
that (copied as plain text - not as images, attachments, or  
screenshots).  
- What the relevant tasks/playbooks/code/variables look like.

thx

Hi

You didn't say what command you ran. How did you invoke ansible-playbook?

HOW do you execute the playbook?
